Die derzeitige Diskussion über den Einsatz Neuer Medien in der Bildung erinnert durchaus an Bemühungen in den frühen Phasen des computerunterstützten Unterrichts (CUU), das Schulsystem zu automatisieren. Die heute diskutierten und teils angewandten Konzepte beruhen allerdings auf einer wesentlich verbesserten Technologie: Einer enormen Leistungssteigerung der Computer, ihrer weltweiten Vernetzu...

The spectrum problem for G-decompositions of AKn that have a nesting was first considered in the case G ~ I{3 by C.J. Colbonrn and M.J. Colbonrn (1983) and by D.H.. Stinson (1985). For A 1 and G ~ Crn this problem was studied in many papers (see C.c. Lindner and C.A. Rodger, Chapter 8 in Contemporary Design Theory: a collection of surveys, ·Wiley 1992, and D.H.. Stinson, Utilitas Math. 33 (1988...

Seit Jahrzehnten stehen Integrationsfragen im Mittelpunkt des Interesses bei der Planung, der Implementierung und dem Betrieb von Softwarelösungen. Integrationsanforderungen leiten sich aus prozess-, funktionsund datenorientierten Bedürfnissen der informationstechnisch zu unterstützenden Geschäftsprozesse ab und betreffen so alle Architekturebenen einer Softwarelösung, inklusive deren organisat...

We confirm the presence of a gender gap in mathematics across many lowand middle-income countries using detailed, comparable test score data. Examining micro level data on school performance linked to household demographics we note that first, the gender gap appears to increase with age. Indeed, the gap nearly doubles when comparing 4th grade and 8th grade test scores. Second, we test whether c...

Recent work has demonstrated that math anxiety is more than just the product of poor math skills. Psychosocial factors may play a key role in understanding what it means to be math anxious, and hence may aid in attempts to sever the link between math anxiety and poor math performance. One such factor may be the extent to which individuals integrate math into their sense of self. We adapted a we...
